FINE SPEECH
I.OCAI. MAN SAVS BEST AdDUKSS
WAS NOT HEI'OHTEI).
HnvihK served it the Philip pines
under William Howard Taft fifteen
years ago, when the ex-presldent was
gi'vernnr of those islands, George
Corhianc of this city had a g'reat per
sonal, interest in hearing Taft's Port
land address this Week and In meet
ing him again as an -old friend.
i Speaking to The Observer, Mr.
Cochrane, who returned yesterday
'from Portland, said that the best
speech the ex-president made in Port-
, land was delivered at a luncheon given
in honor of the parly of distinguished
i visitors and was not reported in the
i press. His publlij aiidrtuw was mora
calculated to appeal to popular senti
ment, and was a fine effort, according
to Air. Cochrane, but at the luncheon
ho gave a particularly practical tulk
! on the question of the league of
nations.
".Mr. Taft put- the proposition of a
league of nations on three or four
bases," says Mr. Cochrane. "The first
one, he said, was 'What were we fight
ing for?', and he says, 'You say we
were fighting to make the world a de
cent place to live in and a place safe
for democracy, and I say, how can
we do so unless the world is so or
ganized that every little upstart ra
tion like Serbia cun not become -re
sponsible for a world catastrophe?
Therefore, there must be a league
formed amnr.ft the nations of tl.e
world, which is the Only wny through
which the novver to prevent war can
:be exerted.1
"Speaking of the question of 'How
can tho league be mganized,' Mr. Taft
declined that it must be dbnc In such
that none of the notions in -
I could go to war without
fi.st res .ig to arbitration: and the
vent not only other nations in the
lei.uue, but any other nation in the
world stnrting another war, even ir
war itself should be required to bring
the relraclory government under con
""l. '
There are two means by whico
wnr can ue prevented, Mr. nut mul.
Ont k hy physical and the other by
ec..,K-i,..cal force.' He went on to say
th.V,.the physical means had nlrv.d:.-
hkii irien in tne recent war. J ne
Covenant of Paris, . prosented
by
President Wilson, is along that line,

"Miv-iun OtftH Witn another arptt-
ment that has been launched against
the , proposed league of nations, -that
the league would be unconstitutional
because it would restrict the liberties
of nntlons. To this Mr. Taft replied
limb tin liberties of nations should be
restricted the same as are the acts of
man, but as the-cave man Is hamd
from modern society, so fliould the
nation or government that adopts the
principles of the cave man be denied
admittance to the Society bf civilim-d
nations. There In nothing in bur con
stitution either for oi against the ma
king of such an alliance, according to
Mr. Taft, and the understanding be
tween the United States and Canadf..
on the basis of which the frontier be-,
twren those two countries has re-joroiudy prosecuted in the courts. No
maincd unguarded hy either men orjotbei course is open to th bureau, in
guns for a hundred years, watcHed h ' meeting fairly and squarely the de

"Americans are strong sunportevs emn responsibility thus existing be

the
whole world. 'We promulgated the
Monroe doctrine and we have found
that it has done a treat deal to pie
vent war,' he said. 'This covenant
will pot perhaps prevent, war, but k
will make it a remote possibility. ' "
Conrludlni. Mr Taft snld thnt tieo-
pie who are opposing the plan of the
league of nations are characterised ns
reartinnnry, and he provoked a bur j
of lauphtet when he said. "It sooir to
